Not yet banded! coming soon!



Recommended Posts

I have yet to be banded but I am sick to death of every one telling me how they know this person or that person or there selves that had it done and something terrible happen or or it did not work. I told my husband to not tell me anything else negitive about the lap band that he was told. I am sick of it. I know all the good and bad of this I have studies and read it all. I wish people could just understand that is a tool and if it is not used right and follow what they tell you yes it will not work and something could happen. I can not help that all these other people did not do what they were taught about the lap band. this is not a mircle you still have to do you part. I am sorry this is my first post and I ventted all over the place but I have had it with the bad stuff I want to hear something good. I have not even had the surgery yet and I do not need to hear all the negative point I know what they are. thanks for listening.:sad:

I'm sorry about all the negative stories you've heard about the LB. I can tell you that I know a bunch of people who have had it done lately and coincidentally all by the same doctor and their experiences have been nothing but positive! I don't think i've ever once had anybody even say anything negative to me about the LB procedure. GB procedure yes but not LB.

I'm sorry you're going through this. Just tell them that sucks to be that person and change the subject. Good luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
